THE ANGELA THIRKELL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA
https://angelathirkellsociety.org/writings/
= Angela Thirkell‘s first work was probably published in the early 20s, possibly in 1921 in Cornhill Magazine. She went on to write over 30 novels including 28 that were set in Trollope’s Barsetshire. She also wrote a memoir of her childhood Three Houses which was one of her first books and was published to great acclaim. In addition to her articles and books, the Angela Thirkell Society has published two short volumes of her letters; one recounts the babyhood of Angela’s son Lance to her mother (Angela was living in Australia at the time) and one of her letters to her long-time friend and typist, Mrs. Bird (these are scanned and linked as are other works published by the Society).
= This section of the Angela Thirkell Society website provides texts and aids of and about the writing of Angela Thirkell, providing a good deal of help for those who want to study or read for pleasure the works of Angela Thirkell. There is a “topical” (for the most part) Index by Hazel Bell, A Dictionary of People by Johnny Pate (both of these feats accomplished before computers). There are excellent book summaries by both Johnny Pate and Amalia Angeloni Jacobucci (beware: they both contain spoilers) and Pate’s summaries are found not only in the Dictionary but in the Book Companions (Dictionary entries by book, as companions when you are reading a Thirkell Barsetshire novel). There is a “shopping list” of Angela Thirkell’s books, designed for the days when used bookstores were thriving and the only viable source for many books. Finally, Books Being Read in Barsetshire will be the only documentation of the known works of Miss Hampton, titles not to be missed!

The Mid-Cape's first, official Homemakers received certificates and letters of commendation in ceremonies at Cape Cod Hospital on Friday, April 23, culminating an 8 session, seminar-style training course conducted by Cape Cod Homemaker Service.
The training program for the six candidates who will serve Cape towns of the Mid-Cape area was arranged by Mrs. Harriet Cameron, Executive Director of this new service which is currently under organization to serve every member of the Cape Cod community.
Commenting on the program Mrs. Cameron said:
"Cape Cod Homemaker Service has assigned to cases every Homemaker trained during February for the Outer Cape, and has already assigned these newly trained Mid-Cape Homemakers, and we need more homemakers!" (Editors note: punctuation added for emphasis.)
Calls for service have Increased to the point that a third training course for Outer Cape and Mid-Cape Homemakers will be held as soon as a large enough class can be recruited.
We plan to hold it ln a town as easily accessible to all candidates as possible".

Mrs. Jessie M. Haberer of Hyannis;
Miss Ruth G. MacDonald of Bass River;
Mrs. Amy D. Manley of West Yarmouth;

The purpose ot Cape Cod Homemaker Service Is to help in keeping families united in their own homes during such times of stress as when the natural homemaker Is either ill or absent.
The agency provides a non-profit, voluntary service on an hourly fee basis to every family on the Cape.'
Need for the services of a Homemaker will be evaluated according to criteria suggested by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Barnstable County Public Health Association is the sponsoring agency.
During their three-week training period homemaker candidates added refinements to their already considerable understanding of people of all ages, of home management, safety and nutrition.
Their two-hour lecture and discussion sessions were conducted by professionals of the area with Director Cameron participating.
